World's Fastest Trade Package from Gavin

Sunday night I posted that I was over 90% done with 2016 Series 1 and several fellow bloggers stepped up saying they'd help. Gavin said he had 2 cards off my lists that "he'd throw on my stack"


Well less than 72 hours later this Schwarber showed up in my mailbox all the way from Portland. Thanks a bunch Gavin I was dreading having to track this one down on the secondary market. With yours and everyone else's help I went from 21 cards on my wantlist to 1. 


Gavin also helped me out with another set build with this gorgeous Whitey Ford from last year's Stadium Club offering. It was packaged with 2 other cards taking me down to 89 to go... 


At first when I saw this '77 Don Sutton I thought "sweet a new card for the PC!" 


Then I flipped it over.... O-PEE-CHEE! Awesome, thanks so much Gavin. This baby is clean too.


2 more for the Sutton PC. Perfect Spring Training shots in both, can't wait to hear Don calling the Braves on the radio verrrry soon.


Nice mix of vintage Bravos were included as well.


Man this thing just keeps getting better and better. New Chipper, Deion and Niekro!


Finally, I just posted a couple weeks ago that I had just got my first Leaf Signatures card of Eddie Perez. Well Gavin decided to double that collection by sending me this Jermaine Dye. Thanks a bunch for all the great cards man and the freaky fast delivery. I'll be sending you a return package before the end of this week.

Zistle - I Have One Now Help Me (please)

So I finally succombed to the appeal of zistle after my last sorting and realizing I've bought way too many doubles lately. I figured if I started one and am debating whether or not I have card A or not I could just check my trusty Zistle (found here -https://www.zistle.com/users/jonesbwp) and save myself some money for what else, more cards I NEED.


This isn't a double. But I plan on adding my PCs like Sutton here. Also I suck at making want lists so I figured this would help me with that to an extent. 


My question for you veteran Zistlers out there is there an easy way to eliminate parallels when trying to add cards to your collection? Adding this Heritage High Numbers team set was a pain in the ass to add because every card has 5 printing plates listed with it. Quit rubbing it in Zistle I don't have any plates.


This should be fun. 


There is probably a really easy fix to all this and your probably looking at me like Rico here but this is about saving money people. You know what they say Mo' Money Mo' Cardboard.


I'll try and start early in time so I quit buying double 75's of Braves I've never heard of...


Or just add oddballs I don't have like this...


and this...


Ooh and this one. 

Oh god what have I done? 

Anyways my Zistle name is - jonesbwp so if your on there let's be friends!

Flea market / '91 Bowman

Got the first 3 at the flea market today, I'll collect anything Deion but this is my favorite so far with him going from Brave to Falcon.The Glavine I had to grab for the throwback uni and I think that might actually be my first Don Sutton looking to start a PC of him as he's my favorite announcer.

The Bowmans are just my favorites from my binder of that set, not going to compete this set so if there's any cards your looking for let me know. The Griffey is really off center and the Larkin Gold bats are only like half filled in with foil.
Thanks for looking
